City:   Pittsburgh
State:   Pennsylvania
Zip Code:   15232
Conditions:   Peritoneal Cavity Cancer
Purpose:   RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and mytomycin C, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Heating a chemotherapy solution and infusing it directly into the abdomen may kill more tumor cells. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving oxaliplatin or mitomycin C directly into the abdomen after surgery works in treating patients with primary colorectal tumors or tumors of the appendix.
Study Summary:   Primary Objectives: I. To compare the toxicity profiles within 4 weeks of surgery of oxaliplatin and mitomycin C delivered via intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies from primary colorectal and appendiceal tumors. Secondary Objectives: I. To compare the time to progression in patients treated with oxaliplatin vs. mitomycin C delivered via intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion for surface malignancies from primary colorectal and appendiceal tumors. OUTLINE: This multicenter, open-label, randomized phase II study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Arm I: Patients undergo surgical cytoreduction and receive mitomycin C by Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy(HIPEC). Arm II: Patients undergo surgical cytoreduction and receive oxaliplatin by Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy(HIPEC). After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months. PROJECTED ACCURAL: A total of 116 patients will be accrued for this study.
Criteria:   Inclusion Criteria: - Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed peritoneal surface malignancies from primary colorectal and appendiceal tumors - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 - Please contact study investigator and/or consult protocol document for specific details on laboratory criteria - Patients must be recovered from both the acute and late effects of any prior surgery, radiotherapy, or other antineoplastic therapy - Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or double-barrier method of birth control or abstinence) for the duration of study participation and for 90 days following Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy(HIPEC) - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document (either directly or via a legally authorized representative) - Participants who have received oxaliplatin during prior systemic chemotherapy regimens are eligible for enrollment in this protocol Exclusion Criteria: - Patients with an active infection or with a fever >= 101.3 F within 3 days of the first scheduled day of protocol treatment - Patients who are receiving concurrent investigational therapy or who have received investigational therapy within 30 days of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy(HIPEC) (investigational therapy is defined as treatment for which there is currently no regulatory authority approved indication) - Patients with carcinoid tumors - Patients with active CNS metastases - Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of oxaliplatin or mitomycin C - History of prior malignancy within the past 5 years, except for curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia, or localized prostate cancer with a current PSA of < 1.0 mg/dL on 2 successive evaluations, at least 3 months apart, with the most recent evaluation no more than 4 weeks prior to entry - Patients who received radiotherapy to more than 25% of their bone marrow - Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements - Pregnant/nursing women are excluded from this study because oxaliplatin is an agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects - Known HIV-, hepatitis B-, or hepatitis C-positive patients (active, previously treated, or both) - Peripheral neuropathy >= grade 2 - History of allogenic transplant - History of prior Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy(HIPEC) - Evidence of metastatic disease outside of the abdomen
